Chapter 160 Theory
Seeing that the situation was not good, the referee stopped the progress of the game and gave the ball boy a certain amount of time to deal with the water stains on the floor.

Ball boys are an important part of NBA games. They will help players prepare before games and often get along well with players.But their compensation is not very high, some only get 100 US dollars per game.

Each team recruits caddies in different ways, some openly recruit, while others hire friends or family members of the team staff.

Tips from players are the main source of income for caddies.If a player can get the phone number of a beautiful fan in the audience, they can get the most tips.

Xu Tian didn't have a good relationship with the caddies in the venues, so naturally he didn't give any tips, and no one asked him for the mobile phone number of the beautiful woman on the sidelines.In a country where girls are said to be sexy because they are sexually harassed, such a situation makes Xu Tian very happy.

Back to the game.

Curry dribbled the ball across half court, played a pick-and-roll with Draymond Green at the top of the arc, and took advantage of the tiny space created by the screen to make a decisive 25-foot three-pointer.

clang!
The basketball fell into George's hands.

Kobe completely took over the task of point guard. After receiving the ball from George, he took the ball slowly across the half court and organized the offense at the top of the arc.

George came to the top of the arc to cover, cooperated with Kobe who was holding the ball, and launched a pick-and-roll attack that had been practiced several times.

The pick-and-roll offensive method is very simple and practical. It immediately caused Klay Thompson and Curry, who were in charge of defense, to mess up their positions, and it was inevitable that there would be defensive flaws.

It stands to reason that both Kobe and George can force their defenders, but they can use [-]% of their strength to achieve their goals, why use [-]% of their strength?This is not Scott's theory, but the conclusion that Xu Tian, ​​who is physically weak, has drawn for a long time.

The Warriors have a mature defensive system, Klay Thompson and Curry both reacted quickly and used the defense to break the pick-and-roll offense.

Kobe switched to post-up singles and played Curry with a slow-paced offensive method, consuming the physical strength of the Warriors boss.

George and Kobe played together for the first time, and the tacit understanding between them has not yet been established, so he can only go to the strong side first to create a comfortable singles space for Kobe.

Nick Young doesn't have so many twists and turns, slipping the baseline and running, tearing up the defensive system that the Warriors have set up.

Kobe shook Curry with a fake shoulder motion, felt his center of gravity move to the right, and decisively turned around with his left foot as the pivot foot, completely staggering with Curry who was defending him.Immediately, he turned over with great proficiency and shot a jumper with a fadeaway, easily scoring two points.

89-95, the Warriors lead by 6 points.

Cole's mentality was still stable, but Luke Wharton couldn't bear it a little bit, and called a timeout decisively alone.

Xu Tian needed to regain his strength as much as possible, so he didn't give up his seat to the players on the field, but sat and listened to Scott's arrangement.

Scott said: "Kobe, you and Paul play a pick-and-roll very well. This kind of offensive method can be played more. Try to attack Stephen, who is weaker in defense, so that he has to consume a lot of energy on both ends of the offense and defense."

After listening to Scott's words, Kobe turned to George and said: "After the pick-and-roll is over, don't exit the three-point line, go down or run, try to pull Klay Thompson's defense as much as possible. Once their physical strength declines, the Warriors' Offensively there will be problems."

After listening to Kobe's theory, George immediately understood what he should do after the pick-and-roll, so that he would not be overwhelmed again.

Luke Walton picked up the tactical board and said: "The Lakers will most likely use Kobe and Paul's pick-and-roll, Stephen will defend Nick Young, and leave Kobe for Harrison to defend."

Curry usually doesn't care about the tactical system. When he heard what the assistant coach said, he nodded with no objection at all.

Klay Thompson remained expressionless, as if what happened on or off the court had nothing to do with him.

Cole trusts his assistant coach very much, and sits leisurely on the coach's bench, watching the performance of the beautiful cheerleaders on the field.

Thackeray replaced Nance Jr. and accidentally got a chance to play.This kind of treatment made him very excited.

The Lakers' power forward position is not deep enough, and Nance Jr. is the only one who can open up the space, but he can't play the whole game, so he can only replace him with Thackeray first.

Director Zhang said: "The Lakers really have no one inside! Black still has some strength, and Thackeray really has no advantages except enthusiasm."

"His height is there." Yang Jian couldn't find the advantages of Thackeray, so he could only try his best to round it up, "It can limit Green to some extent, and he can also grab rebounds."

Facts have proved that Yang Jian's thinking is a bit naive.

Curry organized at the top of the arc and passed the lob to Green on the inside.

Green pushed Thackeray away with his back and made a hard layup against his defense. The success was 2+1!

Kobe understood that the team currently lacks inside players, so he walked over to give Thackeray a high-five to stabilize his mentality.

Greena made a free throw.

98-89, the Warriors lead by 9 points!
Kobe checked the time and the score, and made sure that the point difference had not widened to double digits. He took his time to the top of the arc, and played a pick-and-roll with George who had been waiting there.

Although George is not an inside player, his pick-and-roll posture is very standard. He firmly blocked Harrison Barnes who was defending Kobe, allowing Kobe to face Klay Thompson's defense.

Kobe looked around and saw Nick Young in the left corner, passing the ball on the go.

Passing the ball to Nick Young is like hitting a dog with a meat bun, and it will never come back.

Curry was out of shape, so he could only try to grab the ball, but unexpectedly, Nick Young dribbled the ball under his crotch, and was passed clean.

Draymond Green was entangled by Thackeray, and he couldn't help defending if he wanted to come over. He could only watch Nick Young make a half-shot not far in front of him.

The arc of the basketball is extremely perfect, hollow into the net!
91-98!

Curry was a little irritated by the Lakers, the smile on his face restrained, and he received the serve from Bogut.

After all, George is in the prime of life, and he took the initiative to come to the top of the arc, bending over to defend Curry who was holding the ball.

Curry dribbles with his right hand and calls Bogut to the screen with his left.

Bogut brought Black, who was guarding him, up the lane and switched on a pick-and-roll to put Curry on Black.

What Curry is best at is playing small and big, fancy dribbling to change the rhythm, making Black, who is not fast enough to move laterally fast enough, take care of one thing and lose another.

Black tried his best, but was still thrown away by Curry's retreat, unable to interfere at all.

Curry shot a cold arrow from 25 feet to obliterate the Lakers' distraction.

The wonderful sound of net scraping was clearly transmitted to the ears of fans watching the game through the loudspeakers on the backboard.

101-91!

Curry finally let out the pent-up sulking in his heart, and couldn't help being a little proud. When he retreated, his shoulders shook like waves, celebrating his three-pointer.

Kobe took the serve, looked at the scoreboard above the stadium, and found that the Lakers fell behind by 10 points.At this time, even the stubborn he has to admit that the three-pointer is really a good thing.

Madsen submits a substitution request.

Xu Tian got up and walked to the technical stage, ready to return to the field when the ball was dead next time.
